As a Canucks fan I still can't believe we won, we were getting stomped.
And it ws the second game in a row away from home being outchanced, outshot with an unproven, unexpected bottom string goaltender. And not to mention the empty net goal post and Filip Forsberg's controversial kicking motion goal to up by 2. A lot was not going for the Canucks. I've seen this in the past where they would have bad luck after bad luck in the same game and lose because of it (i.e. the playoff matchup against the Minnesota Wild way back in 2003), but not today!. Like damn, legendary win!!!
I think the idfference between today and in the past is their devotion and discipline to sticking with their defensive minded system, but still have the elite skill to score on the rare opportunities they are getting. It's a rare combination of defense for 99% of the game and elite offense to score at a high rate on the rare chances they are getting.
So it looks like we have a defense identity, it's been done before, winning the Stanley Cup from a defensive standpoint. But no team has ever relied on only one line for offense and for the Canucks they are tilted too much towards JT Miller + Boeser in 5 on 5.
it was amazing but concerning at the same time but we'll worry about the concern part for another day because what a fucking win
another game to add to the records that prove 2-goal leads are never safe.
“Couldnt ask anything more from your 3rd string goalie” ? Lets not down play it … Silvos was unreal. Even with a puck that was kicked in, His SA% was 900. Silvos killed it tonight !
Everybody forgets that silovs brought team Latvia to bronze winning MVP of the tournament placing ahead of team Sweden and team USA in 2023 playing against other men from NHL from other countries.
Seems only right to show him a bit of respect....like learning his name.
@@VolcanicProtectorManbest part is DeSmith was the USA goalie in that tournament.
I’m a Wings fan who have already been rooting for Vancouver in the playoffs. This comeback almost moved me to tears, partly because of flashbacks to some of the jaw dropping comebacks Detroit has pulled off this season. If I had not been rooting for them already I might have started to after this game! Isn’t it amazing to support a team that doesn’t stop trying, not even at the last seconds? 😍😍😍
I used to cook at the Rosedale Hotel in Vancouver back in the late 90s. New Canucks and call ups used to stay there, as well as visiting teams. Our accountant Donna was Steve Yzerman's cousin. One of the very few times that we actually beat Detroit here at home, Donna made sure nobody even got close to him. 😋
@@michaelbinbc Cool! 😀🤩😎
Love Detroit!!!
@@sports2hedz542 ❤️❤️❤️
I used to follow the red wings, back when Steve Yzerman was captain.
The odds of two goals 6 on 5 mixed with a missed empty net in the final 3 minutes are astronomically low.
Those hockey gods that were harboring that curse, may have started realizing the error of their ways last night.
Plus the OT winner!
Makes you think the game was purposely thrown by Nashville for gambling purposes 🤔
Jk lol
Regardless of what happens this year, Canucks fans will remember this one for years to come
Well, I agree that the last 5 minutes of that game will likely be the highlight of the season for the Canucks.
never give up
Jets fan here.. I gave up long ago.
@@5Cats its not over yet. jets in 7
Hughes had 0 points in this one but man he vaporized Gus Nyquist along the wall for that tying goal.
0 goals, 0 assists, 1 gus nyquist
HUGHES, BREAKER OF ANKLES
Boeser had the hat trick, but Miller made those plays. And, Hughes got no points, but he set up all three of those late goals.
How about Garlands pass to Lindholm ? ! 😊
That Canucks 3rd stringer looks better than the Leafs starter...just saying.
it was very "improbable" for Maple Laffs fans as they dont know what a real team looks like even after getting multiple number 1 lottery picks throughout history just like the Coilers. meanwhile canucks with 0 lottery handouts in 70 years from NHL... accomplished this... imagine what canucks wouldve had if they had 1 number 1 lottery pick in NHL history
😂 👍🏽
Fantastic comment
Hell yes
This team was built despite drafting Juolevi and Virtanen with very high picks and only having Juulsen to show for it on the current roster. Imagine if they'd drafted Tkachuk and Nylander instead nevermind 1st overall
Exactly.
When they say "they don't ask how, they ask how many", they're talking about wins like this.
Lets Go Canucks!!
Never give up, , , Never doubt a Canadian team.
Never doubt a Canadian team made up of mostly Americans and Swedes I guess.... 😂
@@irtwiaosall the teams are mixed nationalities fyi with Canadians making up 42% of the players
@@gisg2243 Hence mostly of Americans and Swedes. 42% ain't a majority.
@@irtwiaos so what? all the american teams that have canadian players are then "not american" teams? Your logic can only appy to the Olympics
except the leafs
Farhan is the king of bad takes, although he was right we weren’t looking good
Oh...Silovs has to revive Irbe's slogan: "I was like wall."
Arty Party!!!!
Comeback kids!
That was one of Vancouver’s best performances in their history of the franchise.
1 more win!
Outstanding Comeback!!!!
Lost my voice...wow what a game... Go Canucks Go! Towel power baby
So many unbelievable moments in that last 5 minutes
I did NOT see this coming but I loved it. The Canucks need to start standing up for their Captain a bit better though. Zadorov needs to level Lauzon.
Hughes needs to move the puck faster, the Canucks need to up the offensive pressure so he's not constantly getting drilled by forecheckers.
Tocchet talked about it this morning.
@@AnthM33 Yeah man totally agreed the Canucks are playing way to much into Nashvilles game plan.
Hughes barely moved in the tying goal celebration and hasn't taken a point shot since early in Game 3, he's definitely playing with hurt ribs or something. But he was still able to turn Nyquist into a human slinky at the blue line, look how his legs just collapsed under him.
Maple Laugh fans. Take note 📝
Shades of Patrick Stefan for Sissons there
Patrick Stefan was showboating. Sissons was taking a shot at it from a tough angle on his back hand with pressure... I'm sure he already feels bad about that miss probably apologized to his teammates after the game 😢😂
And they did it without an $11 million captain. Suck it, Leafs.
Just an 11 million dollar swedish ghost 😢
@@deebrandt007Well, technically, he doesn't get that money until next year
It's called "pulling a reverse Leafs"...
If we don’t start Silovs in game 5 I would be upset. He kept us in the game when we didn’t deserve it. Run with the momentum and give the kid the start.
True, but you gotta go with DeSmith if he's healthy. He's reliable since the beginning.
Game 3 Lindholm tossed me a puck over the glass and I told him him I loved him and he smiled. Maybe that’s all he needed❤️❤️
NEVER GIVE UP
3 goals! tell me you didnt watch the game?
Nucks gave the hockey gods a giant middle finger..😅
Nah Canucks gave Nashville the finger
Silovs should start next game keep momentum
Vancouver playing the backup goalies backup and score 3 goals in three minutes..winning the game...Who can predict that?
Canucks are trying to win a hockey game, Nashville thinks they can only win if they can get Vancouver to stop trying to win. Running two and three guys out of position because hockey taking backseat to their attempting to injure. If they think they can get the Canucks to quit says something about their own character. ( if we were getting run all night we would give up, how come they aren't?? )
Play til the whistle blows! WAY TO GO CANUCKS!! GO CANUCKS GO
How is that a soft play on the wall, he chipped the puck away from the forward and hustled back on defense.
Just amazingly good luck it went right to scissons.
As a Canucks fan, I have to say we did not deserve that win. We got an absolute gift from Nashville, and I am still in shock. I can only imagine how Nashville fans and especially Ryan Oreilly feels after this game. He hits the post on the empty net, and is the guy who simply loses his check and goes to the side boards so that Lindholm is left wide open in the slot for the game winner. That is simply unforgivable in OT.
They threw away their best chance of winning this series all in a matter of a few minutes after totally dominating that game. I can’t believe that this could happen in such a crucial NHL playoff game.
Who is WE?
You're not on the team. Lol
Instead of talking about how improbable the Canucks' win is, how about how improbable the Predators' collapse is? Like you said, they dominated most of the game yet they came out with nothing. Roman Josi is clearly playing hurt, and Saros has lost all confidence of himself, he was flowing around harder than a dying fish. Sissons is going to have nightmares at least forthe next 2 nights, if not for years to come. Predators' defence are being heavily taxed right now, with Josi playing hurt McDonagh is playing heavy minutes that is going to wear him down quickly. The whole team is clearly dejected right now, can they muster up something to try and win a game or 2?
Yea the Preds really lost themselves this game... First, O'Reilly leaves the whole right side of the ice uncovered for an easy Boeser tap in (that Saros nearly bailed out). Then a risky backhand saucer attempt for the empty net? But the worst play imo... Josi throwing the puck along the boards gifting possession to Quinn Hughes, then Josi diving to block Miller's shot leaving 3 maybe 4 Canucks all uncovered surrounding Saros??And the cherry on top... letting Lindholm walk right in for the third uncovered net front chance???
Preds did everything they could to throw that win. Zero defensive structure those last minutes. Would hardly blame Saros, Josi was the real flopping fish.
Canucks are averaging less than 18 shots across 4 games. If they win this series, it's going to be one of the biggest heists in canucks history
If you've watched the whole series that stat really doesn't tell the whole story
@@mitchellray1882 the only outlier is the one where they blocked 30 shots. that game the canucks did dominate but couldn't get the puck through I agree. 3rd game, I felt like desmith stole that game for them. this game, well we just watched it
It looked bad. I decided to take a nap from the end of the second to the last 5 of the third. :D Perfect timing.
That's what leaders do. Get the job done even when you're not at your best
The local Home Depot sold out of rope 20 minutes after the game ended.
I honestly shut it off with 10 minutes left....
Loved it!!!!!!! Canucklehead won it!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 love it
If 🎶🎶IT'S A HARDNUCKS LIFE🎶🎶 then 🎶🎶ROAR🎶🎶.
Farhan eating his words LOL
4-5%, from my calculations, around 1-5%
Remember when they were stinking up the league’s basement to start the season? Game four is the hinge that a good matchup swings on!
Are you talking about the Canucks? They came out of the gate on top of the league
That was last season
Yeah the Canucks stole that game.
From now on the Canucks should start pulling its goalie in first, second & 3rd period to win more playoff games.😂
Hey if there’re delayed penalties that’s totally reasonable
How improbable is it for Nashville to pull off a miracle and win all 3 of the remaining games?
What the heck is twitter?
🤓🤓🤓
I think hughes is playing less so he doesnt get beat up for 30 mins a night
West of Saskatchewan : Up 3-1
East of Saskatchewan : down 3-1
How is the first guy talking about brock winning this game when Lindholm literally carried
They neutralized him until he played 11.5 in the third and launched Nyquist into orbit.
Hughes not 100%.
Hughes still the best player on the ice.
Nashville is so dirty
Hat Trick durp
Petersen looks freaked out at the hitting in the playoffs. Physically he can't hang. May be time to bench him.
Awesome
If only the Leafs would of pulled their goalie with 3 minutes left, to at least give it their best chance of coming back in game number
Keefe has got to go man
